| Weeks 35-38 |
-Claire is
in 6-9 month onesies, 9-12 month sleepers, and 9 month pants.
-She weighs
17 lbs and is 28 inches long.
-Claire had
a bought of thrush that lasted quite a while! It did not seem to bother her at
all though!
-On 12/6
Claire began army crawling and 2 days later was full on speed crawling. She is one to not slowly build up to
milestones- she just decided to do it, and does it!
-Claire said
“mama” while reaching for me 3 different times (since I am writing this update
2 ½ months later I can say that she refused to say it again! She lip syncs it
but no sound comes out! Stubborn girl.
-She plays
with phones and cords
-She pulls
up to stand on everything!
-She gives
high fives
-She is
starting to have some stranger danger.
When someone who she isn’t familiar with approaches she becomes very shy
and cuddles into whoever is holding her.
-She will
crawl away when you say “I am going to get you.”
-She is a
FAST crawler!
-She cruises
along furniture
-She is
becoming a major daddy’s girl! He says the favorite part of his day is coming
home from work because she LIGHTS UP when daddy comes home!
-She can be
easily occupied with water bottles
-She met
Santa and did not cry. She did not smile
either, just stared (surprise surprise).
-She went on
a long adventure downtown! We couldn’t find parking for zoo lights, got stuck
in traffic, and ended up at a pizza place in Oak Park way past her
bedtime. She was a trooper though!
-We
celebrated Christmas with my mom’s side of the family
-She dances
when music plays (bounces up and down)
-She “sucks
in” and makes a funny noise
-She LOVES
her cousins!!
-She
celebrated Papa’s birthday!
-She talks
in her sleep just like daddy
-Her newest
cousin Colton was born and she can’t wait to meet him!
-We had to
lower her crib to the lowest setting
-She does
baby yoga unintentionally (downward dog)
-She celebrated
her first Christmas!
-She enjoyed
time with her honorary aunties and uncles on New Year Eve! She did not want to
miss out on the fun and woke up at 11:30 and refused to go back down! She rang
in the New Year with us happy as a clam!
-She is busy
busy busy!
-We
converted the reading room into her playroom.
-She thinks
its so funny when people brush their teeth.
-She blows
raspberries on my stomach
-waves hello
and goodbye
-babbles a
ton!
-wakes up so
happy!
-snuggles
-Claire is
officially a “part-time bed-sharer” I am
very happy with this aspect of our relationship. She takes her naps in her crib and starts the
night in the crib. When she wakes up for
her first nighttime feeding, I bring her into bed with me. Not only do I believe this has helped my milk
supply, but also helped our bond! I struggled (and still do) greatly with
working full-time and being away and the nighttimes cuddles are just necessary
sometimes. I am a strong believer in nighttime
parenting!
